Script Report: Frank Darabont to Write INDIANA JONES 4

May 31st, 2002

According to Coming Attractions Frank Darabont (THE GREEN MILE, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) is officially writing the script for INDIANA JONES 4. Here's their report: "First of all, Frank Darabont has now signed the dotted line and will write Indy 4. Expect the announcement to break any day now, but we know it to be official already. Also, the studio has selected a release date we can also tell you is solid. The legacy of Indiana Jones will continue on July 4, 2005."

Update: (6/1/02) - Variety reported/implied on Friday that Darabont did some unaccredited rewriting for MINORITY REPORT (click here to read). This is simply not true. Scott Frank worked from a draft of the script by Jon Cohen. Both screenwriters received credit from the WGA, and Darabont wasn't even a consideration as he shouldn't have been.
